1 Safety information
1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes
A Warning contains information which is essential for
avoiding a safety hazard.
A Caution contains information which is necessary for
avoiding a risk of damage to the product or other equipment.
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation of
the product.
1.2 Important safety information. Hazards.
This guide applies to products which control electric motors either
directly (drives) or indirectly (controllers, option modules and other
auxiliary equipment and accessories). In all cases the hazards
associated with powerful electrical drives are present, and all safety
information relating to drives and associated equipment must be
observed.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
Drives and controllers are intended as components for professional
incorporation into complete systems. If installed incorrectly they may
present a safety hazard. The drive uses high voltages and currents,
carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to control
equipment which can cause injury. Close attention is required to the
electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards either in
normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System
design, installation, commissioning/start-up and maintenance must be
carried out by personnel who have the necessary training and
competence. They must read this safety information and this guide
carefully.
1.3 Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment is
installed correctly with regard to all instructions given in this guide. They
must give due consideration to the safety of the complete system, so as
to avoid the risk of injury both in normal operation and in the event of a
fault or of reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting
from inappropriate, negligent or incorrect installation of the equipment.
1.4 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations,
such as national wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations. Particular attention
must be given to the cross-sectional areas of conductors, the selection
of fuses or other protection, and protective ground (earth) connections.
This guide contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific
EMC standards.
All machinery to be supplied within the European Union in which this
product is used must comply with the following directives:
2006/42/EC Safety of machinery.
2014/30/EU: Electromagnetic Compatibility.
Competence of designers and
installers
1.5 Electrical hazards
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or
burns, and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when
working with or adjacent to the drive. Hazardous voltage may be present
in any of the following locations:
•AC and DC supply cables and connections
•Output cables and connections
•Many internal parts of the drive, and external option units
Unless otherwise indicated, control terminals are single insulated and
must not be touched.
The supply must be disconnected by an approved electrical isolation
device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate
dangerous voltages from the output of the drive or from any external
option unit.
The drive must be installed in accordance with the instructions given in
this guide. Failure to observe the instructions could result in a fire
hazard.
1.6 Stored electrical charge
The drive contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the AC supply has been disconnected. If the drive has been
energized, the AC supply must be isolated at least ten minutes before
work may continue.
1.7 Mechanical hazards
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive or
controller which might result in a hazard, either through their intended
behaviour or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application
where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or
allow damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and
where necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk - for
example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed
control, or a fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
With the sole exception of the Safe Torque Off function, none of the
drive functions must be used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e.
they must not be used for safety-related functions.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related
application. The system designer is responsible for ensuring that the
complete system is safe and designed correctly according to the
relevant safety standards.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be done by
personnel with the required training and experience. The Safe Torque
Off function will only ensure the safety of a machine if it is correctly
incorporated into a complete safety system. The system must be subject
to a risk assessment to confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event
is at an acceptable level for the application.
1.8 Access to equipment
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety
regulations which apply at the place of use must be complied with.
1.9 Environmental limits
Instructions in this guide regarding transport, storage, installation and
use of the equipment must be complied with, including the specified
environmental limits. This includes temperature, humidity,
contamination, shock and vibration. Drives must not be subjected to
excessive physical force.
1.10 Hazardous environments
The equipment must not be installed in a hazardous environment (i.e. a
potentially explosive environment).

1.11 Motor
The safety of the motor under variable speed conditions must be
ensured.
To avoid the risk of physical injury, do not exceed the maximum specified
speed of the motor.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan
becomes less effective, causing a fire hazard. The motor should be
installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an electric forced vent
fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection
of the motor. The default values in the drive must not be relied upon. It is
essential that the correct value is entered in the Motor Rated Current
parameter.
1.12 Mechanical brake control
Any brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated
operation of an external brake with the drive. While both hardware and
software are designed to high standards of quality and robustness, they
are not intended for use as safety functions, i.e. where a fault or failure
would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the incorrect
operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury,
independent protection devices of proven integrity must also be
incorporated.
1.13 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive.
They must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on
the controlled system. Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted
changes due to error or tampering.

2.4 Ratings
The drive is dual rated.
The setting of the motor rated current determines which rating applies Heavy Duty or Normal Duty.
The two ratings are compatible with motors designed to IEC60034.
The graph aside illustrates the difference between Normal Duty and
Heavy Duty with respect to continuous current rating and short term
overload limits.
Normal DutyHeavy Duty (default)
For applications which use Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction
motors and require a low overload capability, and full torque at low
speeds is not required (e.g. fans, pumps).
Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motors require increased
protection against overload due to the reduced cooling effect of the fan
at low speed. To provide the correct level of protection the I
2
t software
operates at a level which is speed dependent. This is illustrated in the
graph below.
The speed at which the low speed protection takes effect can be
changed by the setting of Low Speed Thermal Protection Mode
(04.025). The protection starts when the motor speed is below 15 % of
base speed when Pr 04.025 = 0 (default) and below 50 % when
Pr 04.025 = 1.
Operation of motor I2t protection
Motor I2t protection is fixed as shown below and is compatible with:
•Self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motors
For constant torque applications or applications which require a high
overload capability, or full torque is required at low speeds (e.g. winders,
hoists).
The thermal protection is set to protect force ventilated induction motors
and permanent magnet servo motors by default.
N
If the application uses a self ventilated (TENV/TEFC) induction motor
and increased thermal protection is required for speeds below 50 %
base speed, then this can be enabled by setting Low Speed Thermal Protection Mode (04.025) = 1.
Motor I2t protection defaults to be compatible with:
•Forced ventilation induction motors
•Permanent magnet servo motors

2.5 Operating modes
The drive is designed to operate in any of the following modes:
With position feedback sensor (requires optional SI-Encoder module)
Without position feedback sensor (Sensorless)
RFC - S
Without position feedback sensor (Sensorless)
Regen mode
2.5.1 Open loop mode
The drive applies power to the motor at frequencies varied by the user. The motor speed is a result of the output frequency of the drive and slip due
to the mechanical load. The drive can improve the speed control of the motor by applying slip compensation. The performance at low speed depends
on whether V/F mode or open loop vector mode is selected.
Open loop vector mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where the drive uses motor parameters to apply the
correct voltage to keep the flux constant under varying load conditions.
Typically 100 % torque is available down to 1 Hz for a 50 Hz motor.
Fixed V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is set by the
user. This mode can be used for multi-motor applications.
Typically 100 % torque is available down to 4 Hz for a 50 Hz motor.
Quadratic V/F mode
The voltage applied to the motor is directly proportional to the square of the frequency except at low speed where a voltage boost is provided which is
set by the user. This mode can be used for running fan or pump applications with quadratic load characteristics or for multi-motor applications. This
mode is not suitable for applications requiring a high starting torque.
2.5.2 RFC-A mode
Rotor Flux Control for Asynchronous (induction) motors (RFC-A) encompasses closed loop vector control with and without a position feedback
device.
With position feedback (requires optional SI-Encoder module)
For use with induction motors with a feedback device installed. The drive directly controls the speed of the motor using the feedback device to ensure
the rotor speed is exactly as demanded. Motor flux is accurately controlled at all times to provide full torque all the way down to zero speed.
Without position feedback (Sensorless)
Sensorless mode provides closed loop control without the need for position feedback by using current, voltages and key operating motor parameters
to estimate the motor speed. It can eliminate instability traditionally associated with open loop control such as operating large motors with light loads
at low frequencies.
2.5.3 RFC- S
Rotor Flux Control for Synchronous (permanent magnet brushless) motors (RFC-S) provides closed loop control without a position feedback device.
Without position feedback
For use with permanent magnet brushless motors without a feedback device installed.
Flux control is not required because the motor is self excited by the permanent magnets which form part of the rotor.
Full torque is available all the way down to zero speed, with salient motors.
2.5.4 Regen mode
For use as a regenerative front end for four quadrant operation.
Regen operation allows bi-directional power flow to and from the AC supply. This provides far greater efficiency levels in applications which would
otherwise dissipate large amounts of energy in the form of heat in a braking resistor.
The harmonic content of the input current is negligible due to the sinusoidal nature of the waveform when compared to a conventional bridge rectifier
or SCR/thyristor front end.

4.1 24 Vdc supply
The 24 Vdc supply connected to control terminals 1 & 2 provides the
following functions:
•It can be used to supplement the drive's own internal 24 V supply
when multiple option modules are being used and the current drawn
by these module is greater than the drive can supply.
•It can be used as a back-up power supply to keep the control circuits
of the drive powered up when the line power supply is removed. This
allows any fieldbus modules, application modules, encoders or serial
communications to continue to operate.
•It can be used to commission the drive when the line power supply is
not available, as the display operates correctly. However, the drive
will be in the Under voltage state unless either line power supply or
low voltage DC operation is enabled, therefore diagnostics may not
be possible. (Power down save parameters are not saved when
using the 24 V back-up power supply input).
•If the DC bus voltage is too low to run the main SMPS in the drive,
then the 24 V supply can be used to supply all the low voltage power
requirements of the drive. Low Under Voltage Threshold Select
(06.067) must also be enabled for this to happen.
On size 6 and larger, the power 24 Vdc supply (terminals 51, 52) must
be connected to enable the 24 Vdc supply to be used as a backup
supply, when the line power supply is removed. If the power 24 Vdc
supply is not connected none of the above mentioned functions can be
used, "Waiting For Power System" will be displayed on the keypad and
no drive operations are possible. The location of the power 24 Vdc can
be identified from Figure 4-1 Location of the 24 Vdc power supply connection on size 6 on page 21.

The working voltage range of the control 24 V power supply is as
follows:

4.2.1 Isolation of the EIA 485 serial communications
port
The serial PC communications port is double insulated and meets the
requirements for SELV in EN 50178:1998.
In order to meet the requirements for SELV in IEC60950 (IT
equipment) it is necessary for the control computer to be
grounded. Alternatively, when a lap-top or similar device is
used which has no provision for grounding, an isolation
device must be incorporated in the communications lead.
An isolated serial communications lead has been designed to connect
the drive to IT equipment (such as laptop computers), and is available
from the supplier of the drive. See below for details:
Table 4-3 Isolated serial comms lead details
Part numberDescription
4500-0096CT USB Comms cable
The “isolated serial communications” lead has reinforced insulation as
defined in IEC60950 for altitudes up to 3,000 m.
4.2.2 Communication networks and cabling
Any isolated signal circuit has the capability to become live through
accidental contact with other conductors; as such they should always be
double-insulated from live parts. The routing of network and signal wires
should be done so as to avoid close proximity to mains voltage cabling.
UL
Information
The EIA 485 interface provides two parallel RJ45 connectors, these are
provided allowing easy daisy chaining. The drive only supports Modbus
RTU protocol. See Table 4-2 for the connection details.
Standard Ethernet cables are not recommended for use when
connecting drives on a EIA 485 network as they do not have the correct
twisted pairs for the pinout of the serial comms port.
If an Ethernet network adaptor is inadvertently connected to
a Unidrive M600 drive, a low impedance load across the EIA
485 24V is applied. If this is connected for a significant period
of time, it can introduce the potential risk of damage.

The Safe Torque Off drive enable terminal is a positive logic input only. It
is not affected by the setting of Input Logic Polarity (08.029).
N
The common 0 V from analog signals should, wherever possible, not be
connected to the same 0 V terminal as the common 0 V from digital
signals. Terminals 3 and 11 should be used for connecting the 0V
common of analog signals and terminals 21, 23 and 30 for digital
signals. This is to prevent small voltage drops in the terminal
connections causing inaccuracies in the analog signals.
N
A two wire motor thermistor can be connected to analog input 3 by
connecting the thermistor between terminal 8 and any 0 V common
terminal. It is also possible to connect a 4-wire thermistor to analog input
3 as shown below. Pr 07.015 and Pr 07.046 need to be set-up for the
thermistor type required.

UL
Information
If the control circuits are to be connected to other circuits
classified as Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) (e.g. to a
personal computer), an additional isolating barrier must be
included in order to maintain the SELV classification.
If any of the digital inputs (including the drive enable input)
are connected in parallel with an inductive load (i.e.
contactor or motor brake) then suitable suppression (i.e.
diode or varistor) should be used on the coil of the load. If no
suppression is used then over voltage spikes can cause
damage to the digital inputs and outputs on the drive.
Ensure the logic sense is correct for the control circuit to be
used. Incorrect logic sense could cause the motor to be
started unexpectedly.
Positive logic is the default state for the drive.
N
Any signal cables which are carried inside the motor cable (i.e. motor
thermistor, motor brake) will pick up large pulse currents via the cable
capacitance. The shield of these signal cables must be connected to

4.4 Safe Torque Off (STO)
The Safe Torque Off function provides a means for preventing the drive
from generating torque in the motor, with a very high level of integrity. It
is suitable for incorporation into a safety system for a machine. It is also
suitable for use as a conventional drive enable input.
The safety function is active when the STO input is in the logic-low state
as specified in the control terminal specification. The function is defined
according to EN 61800-5-2 and IEC 61800-5-2 as follows. (In these
standards a drive offering safety-related functions is referred to as a
PDS(SR)):
'Power that can cause rotation (or motion in the case of a linear motor) is
not applied to the motor. The PDS(SR) will not provide energy to the
motor which can generate torque (or force in the case of a linear motor)'
This safety function corresponds to an uncontrolled stop in accordance
with stop category 0 of IEC 60204-1.
The Safe Torque Off function makes use of the special property of an
inverter drive with an induction motor, which is that torque cannot be
generated without the continuous correct active behaviour of the inverter
circuit. All credible faults in the inverter power circuit cause a loss of
torque generation.
The Safe Torque Off function is fail-safe, so when the Safe Torque Off
input is disconnected the drive will not operate the motor, even if a
combination of components within the drive has failed. Most component
failures are revealed by the drive failing to operate. Safe Torque Off is
also independent of the drive firmware. This meets the requirements of
the following standards, for the prevention of operation of the motor.
Machinery Applications
The Safe Torque Off function has been independently assessed by
Notified Body, TüV Rheinland for use as a safety component of a
machine:
Prevention of unintended motor operation: The safety function "Safe
Torque Off" can be used in applications up to Cat 4. PL e according to
EN ISO 13849-1, SIL 3 according to EN 61800-5-2/ EN 62061/ IEC
61508, and in lift applications according to EN 81-1 and EN81-2.

Note on response time of Safe Torque Off, and use with safety
controllers with self-testing outputs:
Safe Torque Off has been designed to have a response time of greater
than 1 ms so that it is compatible with safety controllers whose outputs
are subject to a dynamic test with a pulse width not exceeding 1 ms.
Note on the use of servo motors, other permanent-magnet motors,
reluctance motors and salient-pole induction motors:
When the drive is disabled through Safe Torque Off, a possible (although
highly unlikely) failure mode is for two power devices in the inverter
circuit to conduct incorrectly.

This fault cannot produce a steady rotating torque in any AC motor. It
produces no torque in a conventional induction motor with a cage rotor. If
the rotor has permanent magnets and/or saliency, then a transient
alignment torque may occur. The motor may briefly try to rotate by up to
180° electrical, for a permanent magnet motor, or 90° electrical, for a
salient pole induction motor or reluctance motor. This possible failure
mode must be allowed for in the machine design.
The design of safety-related control systems must only be
done by personnel with the required training and experience.
The Safe Torque Off function will only ensure the safety of a
machine if it is correctly incorporated into a complete safety
system. The system must be subject to a risk assessment to
confirm that the residual risk of an unsafe event is at an
acceptable level for the application.
Safe Torque Off inhibits the operation of the drive, this
includes inhibiting braking. If the drive is required to provide
both braking and Safe Torque Off in the same operation (e.g.
for emergency stop) then a safety timer relay or similar device
must be used to ensure that the drive is disabled a suitable
time after braking. The braking function in the drive is
provided by an electronic circuit which is not fail-safe. If
braking is a safety requirement, it must be supplemented by
an independent fail-safe braking mechanism.
Safe Torque Off does not provide electrical isolation.
The supply to the drive must be disconnected by an approved
isolation device before gaining access to power connections.

Information
With Safe Torque Off there are no single faults in the drive which can
permit the motor to be driven. Therefore it is not necessary to have a
second channel to interrupt the power connection, nor a fault detection
circuit.
It is important to note that a single short-circuit from the Safe Torque Off
input to a DC supply of > 5 V could cause the drive to be enabled. This
can be excluded under EN ISO 13849-2 by the use of protected wiring.
The wiring can be protected by either of the following methods:
• By placing the wiring in a segregated cable duct or other enclosure.
or
• By providing the wiring with a grounded shield in a positive-logic
grounded control circuit. The shield is provided to avoid a hazard from
an electrical fault. It may be grounded by any convenient method; no
special EMC precautions are required.
It is essential to observe the maximum permitted voltage of
5 V for a safe low (disabled) state of Safe Torque Off. The
connections to the drive must be arranged so that voltage
drops in the 0V wiring cannot exceed this value under any
loading condition. It is strongly recommended that the Safe
Torque Off circuit be provided with a dedicated 0V conductor
which should be connected to terminal 30 at the drive.
Safe Torque Off over-ride
The drive does not provide any facility to over-ride the Safe Torque Off
function, for example for maintenance purposes.

The security level is determined by the setting of Pr 00.049 or Pr 11.044.
The Security Level can be changed through the keypad even if the User
Security Code has been set.
5.9.3 User Security Code
The User Security Code, when set, prevents write access to any of the
parameters in any menu.
Setting User Security Code
Enter a value between 1 and 2147483647 in Pr 00.034 and press the
button; the security code has now been set to this value. In order
to activate the security, the Security level must be set to desired level in
Pr 00.049. When the drive is reset, the security code will have been
activated and the drive returns to Menu 0 and the symbol is
displayed in the right hand corner of the keypad display. The value of
Pr 00.034 will return to 0 in order to hide the security code.
Unlocking User Security Code
Select a parameter that need to be edited and press the button,
the upper display will now show ‘Security Code’. Use the arrow buttons
to set the security code and press the button. With the correct
security code entered, the display will revert to the parameter selected in
edit mode.
If an incorrect security code is entered, the following message ‘Incorrect
security code’ is displayed, then the display will revert to parameter view
mode.
Disabling User Security
Unlock the previously set security code as detailed above. Set Pr 00.034
to 0 and press the button. The User Security has now been
disabled, and will not have to be unlocked each time the drive is
powered up to allow read / write access to the parameters.

5.10 Displaying parameters with nondefault values only
By selecting 'Show non-default' in Pr mm.000 (Alternatively, enter 12000
in Pr mm.000), the only parameters that will be visible to the user will be
those containing a non-default value. This function does not require a
drive reset to become active. In order to deactivate this function, return
to Pr mm.000 and select 'No action' (alternatively enter a value of 0).
Please note that this function can be affected by the access level
enabled, refer to section 5.9 Parameter access level and security on
page 36 for further information regarding access level.
5.11 Displaying destination parameters only
By selecting 'Destinations' in Pr mm.000 (Alternatively enter 12001 in
Pr mm.000), the only parameters that will be visible to the user will be
destination parameters. This function does not require a drive reset to
become active. In order to deactivate this function, return to Pr mm.000
and select 'No action' (alternatively enter a value of 0).
Please note that this function can be affected by the access level
enabled, refer to section 5.9 Parameter access level and security on
page 36 for further information regarding access level.
5.12 Communications
The Unidrive M600 drive offers a 2 wire EIA 485 interface. This enables
the drive set-up, operation and monitoring to be carried out with a PC or
controller if required.
5.12.1 EIA 485 Serial communications
The EIA 485 interface provides two parallel RJ45 connectors allowing
easy daisy chaining. The drive only supports Modbus RTU protocol.
The serial communications port of the drive is a RJ45 socket, which is
isolated from the power stage and the other control terminals (see
section 4.2 Communication connections on page 22 for connection and
isolation details).
The communications port applies a 2 unit load to the communications
network.
USB/EIA 232 to EIA 485 Communications
An external USB/EIA 232 hardware interface such as a PC cannot be
used directly with the 2-wire EIA 485 interface of the drive. Therefore a
suitable converter is required.
Suitable USB to EIA 485 and EIA 232 to EIA 485 isolated converters are
available from Control Techniques as follows:
•CT USB Comms cable (CT Part No. 4500-0096)
•CT EIA 232 Comms cable (CT Part No. 4500-0087)
When using the CT EIA 232 Comms cable the available baud rate is
limited to 19.2 k baud.
When using one of the above converters or any other suitable converter
with the drive, it is recommended that no terminating resistors be
connected on the network. It may be necessary to 'link out' the
terminating resistor within the converter depending on which type is
used. The information on how to link out the terminating resistor will
normally be contained in the user information supplied with the
converter.
Serial communications set-up parameters
The following parameters need to be set according to the system
requirements.

Please refer to section 7.7 CT Modbus RTU specification on page 92 for
further details on the CT Modbus RTU specification.
The drive only supports the
Modbus RTU protocol and is
always a slave. This parameter
defines the supported data
formats used by the EIA 485
comms port (if installed) on the
drive. This parameter can be
changed via the drive keypad,
via a option module or via the
comms interface itself.
This parameter can be
changed via the drive keypad,
via a option module or via the
comms interface itself. If it is
changed via the comms
interface, the response to the
command uses the original
baud rate. The master should
wait at least 20 ms before
sending a new message using
the new baud rate.
This parameter defines the
serial address and an
addresses between 1 and 247
are permitted.
When the above parameters
are modified the changes do
not have an immediate effect
on the serial communication
system. The new values are
used after the next power up or
if Reset Serial Communications
is set to 1.

Pr 00.015 sets the ramp mode of the drive as shown below:
0: Fast ramp
Fast ramp is used where the deceleration follows the programmed
deceleration rate subject to current limits. This mode must be used if a
braking resistor is connected to the drive.
1: Standard ramp
Standard ramp is used. During deceleration, if the voltage rises to the
standard ramp level (Pr 02.008) it causes a controller to operate, the
output of which changes the demanded load current in the motor. As the
controller regulates the link voltage, the motor deceleration increases as
the speed approaches zero speed. When the motor deceleration rate
reaches the programmed deceleration rate the controller ceases to
operate and the drive continues to decelerate at the programmed rate. If
the standard ramp voltage (Pr 02.008) is set lower than the nominal DC
bus level the drive will not decelerate the motor, but it will coast to rest.
The output of the ramp controller (when active) is a current demand that
is fed to the frequency changing current controller (Open-loop modes) or
the torque producing current controller (RFC-A or RFC-S modes). The
gain of these controllers can be modified with Pr 00.038 {04.013} and Pr
00.039 {04.014}.

Pr 00.032 indicates the maximum continuous Heavy Duty current rating.
The motor rated full load rpm parameter (Pr 00.045) in conjunction with
the motor rated frequency parameter (Pr 00.046) defines the full load
slip of the motor. The slip is used in the motor model for closed-loop
vector control. The full load slip of the motor varies with rotor resistance
which can vary significantly with motor temperature. When Pr 00.033 is
set to 1 or 2, the drive can automatically sense if the value of slip defined
by Pr 00.045 and Pr 00.046 has been set incorrectly or has varied with
motor temperature. If the value is incorrect parameter Pr 00.045 is
automatically adjusted. The adjusted value in Pr 00.045 is not saved at
power-down. If the new value is required at the next power-up it must be
saved by the user.
Automatic optimization is only enabled when the speed is above 12.5 %
of rated speed, and when the load on the motor load rises above 62.5 %
rated load. Optimization is disabled again if the load falls below 50 % of
rated load.
For best optimization results the correct values of stator resistance
(Pr 05.017), transient inductance (Pr 05.024), stator inductance
(Pr 05.025) and saturation breakpoints (Pr 05.029, Pr 05.030) should be
stored in the relevant parameters. These values can be obtained by the
drive during an autotune (see Pr 00.040 for further details).
Rated rpm auto-tune is not available if the drive is not using external
position/speed feedback.
The gain of the optimizer, and hence the speed with which it converges,
can be set at a normal low level when Pr 00.033 is set to 1. If this
parameter is set to 2 the gain is increased by a factor of 16 to give faster
convergence.

These parameters control the proportional and integral gains of the
current controller used in the open loop drive. The current controller
either provides current limits or closed loop torque control by modifying
the drive output frequency. The control loop is also used in its torque
mode during line power supply loss, or when the controlled mode
standard ramp is active and the drive is decelerating, to regulate the flow
of current into the drive.

Open-Loop
There are two autotune tests available in open loop mode, a stationary
and a rotating test. A rotating autotune should be used whenever
possible so the measured value of power factor of the motor is used by
the drive.
Autotune test 1:
•A stationary autotune can be used when the motor is loaded and it is
not possible to remove the load from the motor shaft. The stationary
test measures the Stator Resistance (05.017), Transient Inductance
(05.024), Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.059) and current at
Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.060) which are required for
good performance in vector control modes (see Open Loop Control
Mode (00.007), later in this table). If Enable Stator Compensation
(05.049) = 1, then Stator Base Temperature (05.048) is made equal
to Stator Temperature (05.046). The stationary autotune does not
measure the power factor of the motor so the value on the motor
nameplate must be entered into Pr 00.043. To perform a Stationary
autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 1, and provide the drive with both an
enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or
27).
Autotune test 2:
•A rotating autotune should only be used if the motor is unloaded. A
rotating autotune first performs a stationary autotune, as above, then
a rotating test is performed in which the motor is accelerated with
currently selected ramps up to a frequency of Rated Frequency (Pr
00.047 {05.006}) x
2
/3, and the frequency is maintained at that level
for 4 seconds. Stator Inductance (05.025) is measured and this
value is used in conjunction with other motor parameters to calculate
Rated Power Factor (05.010). To perform a Rotating autotune, set
Pr 00.040 to 2, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on
terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
Following the completion of an autotune test the drive will go into the
inhibit state. The drive must be placed into a controlled disable condition
before the drive can be made to run at the required reference. The drive
can be put in to a controlled disable condition by removing the Safe
Torque Off signal from terminal 31, setting the Drive Enable (06.015) to
Off (0) or disabling the drive via the Control Word (06.042) and Control
Word Enable (06.043).
RFC-A
There are five autotune tests available in RFC-A sensorless mode, a
stationary test, a rotating test and two inertia measurement tests. A
stationary autotune will give moderate performance whereas a rotating
autotune will give improved performance as it measures the actual
values of the motor parameters required by the drive. An inertia
measurement test should be performed separately to a stationary or
rotating autotune see Optimization section for further details.
It is highly recommended that a rotating autotune is performed
(Pr 00.040 set to 2).

current loop gains, and at the end of the test the values in Pr 00.038

Compensation (05.059) and Current At Maximum Deadtime
Compensation (05.060) for the drive are also measured.
Additionally, if Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1, then Stator
Base Temperature (05.048) is made equal to Stator Temperature
(05.046). A stationary autotune does not measure the power factor
of the motor so the value on the motor nameplate must be entered
into Pr 00.043.
To perform a Stationary autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 1, and provide the
drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on

Autotune test 2:

During the rotating autotune the Stator Inductance (05.025), and the
motor saturation breakpoints (Pr 05.029, Pr 05.030, Pr 06.062 and
Pr 05.063) are modified by the drive. The Rated Power Factor (Pr
05.010) is also modified by the Stator Inductance (05.035). To
perform a Rotating autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 2, and provide the
drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on
terminal 26 or 27).
Following the completion of an autotune test, the drive will go into the
inhibit state. The drive must be placed into a controlled disable condition
before the drive can be made to run at the required reference. The drive
can be put in to a controlled disable condition by removing the Safe
Torque Off signal from terminal 31, setting the Drive Enable (06.015) to
Off (0) or disabling the drive via the control word (Pr 06.042 &
Pr 06.043).
RFC-S
There are six autotune tests available in RFC-S sensorless mode, a
stationary autotune and two inertia measurement tests. Please see
Optimization section for further details on the inertia tests.
Autotune test 1:
•The stationary autotune can be used to measure all the necessary
parameters for basic control. The tests measures Stator Resistance
(05.017), Ld (05.024), No Load Lq Pr 00.056 {05.072}, Maximum
Deadtime Compensation (05.059) and Current At Maximum
Deadtime Compensation (05.060). If Enable Stator Compensation
(05.049) = 1 then Stator Base Temperature (05.048) is made equal
to Stator Temperature (05.046). The Stator Resistance (05.017) and
the Ld (05.024) are then used to set up Current controller Kp Gain
00.038 {04.013} and Current Controller Ki Gain Pr 00.039 {04.014}.
To perform a Stationary autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 1, and provide the
drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on
terminal 26 or 27).
Autotune test 2:
•In sensorless mode, if Rotating autotune is selected (Pr 00.040 = 2),
then a stationary autotune is performed.
Following the completion of an autotune test the drive will go into the
inhibit state. The drive must be placed into a controlled disable condition
before the drive can be made to run at the required reference. The drive
can be put in to a controlled disable condition by removing the Safe
Torque Off signal from terminal 31, setting the drive Enable Parameter
(06.015) to Off (0) or disabling the drive via the control word (Pr 06.042 &
Pr 06.043).

This parameter defines the required switching frequency. The drive may
automatically reduce the actual switching frequency (without changing
this parameter) if the power stage becomes too hot. A thermal model of
the IGBT junction temperature is used based on the heatsink
temperature and an instantaneous temperature drop using the drive
output current and switching frequency. The estimated IGBT junction
temperature is displayed in Pr 07.034. If the temperature exceeds
135 °C the switching frequency is reduced if this is possible (i.e >3 kHz).
Reducing the switching frequency reduces the drive losses and the
junction temperature displayed in Pr 07.034 also reduces. If the load
condition persists the junction temperature may continue to rise again
above 145 °C and the drive cannot reduce the switching frequency
further the drive will initiate an ‘OHt Inverter’ trip. Every second the drive
will attempt to restore the switching frequency to the level set in
Pr 00.041.

The power factor is the true power factor of the motor, i.e. the angle
between the motor voltage and current.
Open-loop
The power factor is used in conjunction with the motor rated current
(Pr 00.046) to calculate the rated active current and magnetizing current
of the motor. The rated active current is used extensively to control the
drive, and the magnetizing current is used in vector mode Rs
compensation. It is important that this parameter is set up correctly.
This parameter is obtained by the drive during a rotational autotune. If a
stationary autotune is carried out, then the nameplate value should be
entered in Pr 00.043.
RFC-A
If the stator inductance (Pr 05.025) contains a non-zero value, the power
factor used by the drive is continuously calculated and used in the vector
control algorithms (this will not update Pr 00.043).
If the stator inductance is set to zero (Pr 05.025) then the power factor
written in Pr 00.043 is used in conjunction with the motor rated current
and other motor parameters to calculate the rated active and
magnetizing currents which are used in the vector control algorithm.
This parameter is obtained by the drive during a rotational autotune. If a
stationary autotune is carried out, then the nameplate value should be
entered in Pr 00.043.
Following a rotating autotune Pr 00.043 {05.010} is continuously written
by the drive, calculated from the value of Stator Inductance (Pr 05.025).
To manually enter a value into Pr 00.043 {05.010}, Pr 05.025 will need to

This is the speed at which the motor would rotate when supplied with its
base frequency at rated voltage, under rated load conditions (=
synchronous speed - slip speed). Entering the correct value into this
parameter allows the drive to increase the output frequency as a
function of load in order to compensate for this speed drop.

If slip compensation is required this parameter should be set to the value
from the rating plate of the motor, which should give the correct rpm for a
hot machine. Sometimes it will be necessary to adjust this when the
drive is commissioned because the nameplate value may be inaccurate.
Slip compensation will operate correctly both below base speed and
within the field weakening region. Slip compensation is normally used to
correct for the motor speed to prevent speed variation with load. The
rated load rpm can be set higher than synchronous speed to deliberately
introduce speed droop. This can be useful to aid load sharing with
mechanically coupled motors.
RFC-A
Rated speed is used with motor rated frequency to determine the full
load slip of the motor which is used by the vector control algorithm.
Incorrect setting of this parameter can result in the following:
•Reduced efficiency of motor operation
•Reduction of maximum torque available from the motor
•Failure to reach maximum speed
•Over-current trips
•Reduced transient performance
•Inaccurate control of absolute torque in torque control modes
The nameplate value is normally the value for a hot machine, however,
some adjustment may be required when the drive is commissioned if the
nameplate value is inaccurate. The rated full load rpm can be optimized
by the drive (For further information, refer to section 7.1.2 RFC-A Mode on page 80).

An Input 2 Loss or Keypad Mode.
Disable braking resistor overload detection
For details of braking resistor overload detection mode see Pr 10.030.
Disable phase loss trip
Normally the drive will stop when the input phase loss condition is
detected. If this bit is set to 1 the drive will continue to run and will only
trip when the drive is brought to a stop by the user.
Disable braking resistor temperature monitoring
Size 3, 4 and 5 drives have an internal user install braking resistor with a
thermistor to detect overheating of the resistor. As default bit 3 of Pr
00.051 {10.037} is set to zero, and so if the braking resistor and its
thermistor is not installed the drive will produce a trip (Th Brake Res)
because the thermistor appears to be open-circuit. This trip can be
disabled so that the drive can run by setting bit 3 of Pr 00.051 {10.037} to
one. If the resistor is installed then no trip is produced unless the
thermistor fails, and so bit 3 of Pr 00.051 {10.037} can be left at zero.
This feature only applies to size 3, 4 and 5 drives. For example if Pr
00.051 {10.037} = 8, then Th Brake Res trip will be disabled.
Disable parameter freeze on trip
If this bit is 0 then the parameters listed below are frozen on trip until the
trip is cleared. If this bit is 1 then this feature is disabled.

0: Injection
A high frequency signal is injected into the motor to detect the motor flux
axis. This can be used in a similar way to operation with position
feedback except that for the drive to remain stable the speed controller
bandwidth may need to be limited to 10 Hz or less and the current limit
may need to be limited (see Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current

•There may be some movement of the motor shaft in either direction
as the motor starts.
•It is not possible to measure the motor inertia using auto-tuning with
Auto-tune (00.040) = 4.
•Normally the ramp rate should not be slower than 5 s/1000 rpm
when operating in the region below Rated Speed (00.045) / 10.
•This mode is not intended to control the motor for prolonged periods
below Rated Speed (00.045) / 10, but is intended to allow the motor
to be started from standstill to run outside the low speed region.
•This mode is not intended to allow motor reversals. If the direction
does need to be reversed, the motor should be stopped and any
oscillations must die away, before the motor is restarted in the other
direction.
Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current (00.055) defines a current applied
in the motor d axis to aid starting. The default value is suitable for most
motors with a load of up to 60% rated torque. However, in some
applications this level may need to be adjusted.
2: Current
This method, which applies a rotating current vector at the frequency
defined by the speed reference, can be used with any motor with no
saliency or moderate saliency. It should only be used with motors where
more of the torque is produced in conjunction with the magnet flux rather
than from saliency torque. This mode does not provide the same level of
control at low speed as injection mode, but is easier to set up and more
flexible than "Non-salient" mode. The following should be considered:
1. Only speed control can be used when low speed mode operation is
active.
2. A current specified by Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current
(00.055) is applied when low speed mode is active. This current
should be sufficient to start the motor with the highest expected load.
If the motor has some saliency with no-load applied, and a suitable
saturation characteristic, the drive can detect the rotor position and
apply the current at the correct angle to avoid starting transient. If
the motor is non-salient as defined by the conditions for Inductance
trip then the drive will not attempt to detect the rotor position and the
current will be applied at an arbitrary angle. This could cause a
starting transient if the level of current applied is high, and so Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current (00.055) should not be set to a
higher level than necessary. To minimise the movement as a result
of applying the current, it is increased over the period defined
by Sensorless Mode Current Ramp (05.063) in the form of a
squared characteristic (i.e. it is increased with a low rate of change
at the beginning and the rate of change is gradually increased).
3. It is not possible to measure the motor inertia using auto-tuning
with Auto-tune (00.040) = 4.
4. As the level of current when low speed mode is active is not
dependent on the applied load, but is as defined by Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current (00.055), and so the motor may become
too hot if low speed mode is active for a prolonged period of time.
5. Generally Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current (00.055) should be
set to a level higher than the expected maximum load, and can be
set to a much higher level than the load if the saliency and saturation
characteristic allow the position of the rotor to be detected on
starting. However, Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current (00.055)
should be matched more closely to the expected load under the
following conditions: the load inertia is high compared to the motor
interia, or there is very little damping/loss in the load system, or
where the q axis inductance of the motor changes significantly with
load.
3: Current no test
The "Current" method is used, but no attempt is made to determine the
position of the rotor before applying the current. This can be selected for
example, if the motor does not have a suitable saturation characteristic
to allow the rotor position to be determined during starting, or if faster
starting is required. The initial current vector angle will be at an arbitary
position with respect to the actual rotor position. As the vector sweeps
round it must make the rotor start to rotate. If the ramp rate is too high
the rotor may not keep up with the current vector and the motor may not

start. If this is the case then the ramp rate should be reduced and/or the
current used to start the motor should be increased.
Torque control can be used with the "Injection" starting method in the
same way as with position feedback. However if torque control is to be
used in an application where the other starting methods are used then
the following should be considered:
1. Torque control should not be enabled until the low speed algorithm is
no longer active and the motor speed must not drop to a level where
the low speed mode will become active again while torque control is
active. This means that the motor must be started in speed control
and torque control should only be selected when the speed is high
enough.
2. To stop the motor the drive can simply be disabled or the run should
be removed for the drive to stop the motor. Removing the run causes
the drive to switch from torque control to speed control, and so the
motor speed can be reduced back down though the range where the
low speed algorithm is active.

Injection mode
For low speed sensorless operation with signal injection (RFC Low
Speed Mode (00.054) = 0) it is necessary to have a ratio of Lq/Ld = 1.1.
Even if a motor has a larger ratio on no load, this ratio normally reduces
as the q axis current is increased from zero. Low Speed Sensorless Mode Current Limit (00.055) should be set at a level that is lower than
the point where the inductance ratio falls to 1.1. The value of this
parameter is used to define the drive current limits when signal injection
is active and prevent loss of control of the motor.
Non-salient mode
For low speed sensorless operation for non-salient motors (RFC Low
Speed Mode (00.054) = 1) defines a current applied in the d axis to aid
starting. For most motors and applications requiring up to 60 % torque
on starting, the default value is suitable. However the level of current
may need to be increased to make the motor start.

6 Running the motor
This chapter takes the new user through all the essential steps to
running a motor for the first time, in each of the possible operating
modes.
For information on tuning the drive for the best performance, see
Chapter 7 Optimization on page 77.
Ensure that no damage or safety hazard could arise from the
motor starting unexpectedly.
The values of the motor parameters affect the protection of
the motor.
The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered in Pr 00.046 Rated Current. This affects the thermal protection of the
motor.
If the drive is started using the keypad it will run to the speed
defined by the keypad reference (Pr 01.017). This may not
be acceptable depending on the application. The user must
check in Pr 01.017 and ensure that the keypad reference
has been set to 0.
If the intended maximum speed affects the safety of the
machinery, additional independent over-speed protection
must be used.

The drive is able to perform either a stationary or a rotating autotune. The motor must be at a standstill
before an autotune is enabled. A rotating autotune should be used whenever possible so the measured

•A stationary autotune can be used when the motor is loaded and it is not possible to uncouple the
load from the motor shaft. A stationary autotune measures stator resistance and transient
inductance of the motor and values relating to deadtime compensation from the drive. These are
required for good performance in vector control modes. A stationary autotune does not measure
the power factor of the motor so the value on the motor nameplate must be entered into Pr 00.043.
•A rotating autotune should only be used if the motor is uncoupled. A rotating autotune first performs
a stationary autotune before rotating the motor at

rotating autotune measures the power factor of the motor.
To perform an autotune:
•Set Pr 00.040 = 1 for a stationary autotune or set Pr 00.040 = 2 for a rotating autotune
•Close the Drive Enable signal (terminal 31). The drive will display ’Ready’.
•Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27). The upper row of the display will flash ’Auto Tune’ while the

The drive is able to perform either a stationary or a rotating autotune. The motor must be at a standstill before
an autotune is enabled. A stationary autotune will give moderate performance whereas a rotating autotune will
give improved performance as it measures the actual values of the motor parameters required by the drive.
It is highly recommended that a rotating autotune is performed (Pr 00.040 set to 2).

The drive is able to perform a stationary autotune. The motor must be at a standstill before an autotune is enabled. A
stationary autotune will give moderate performance.
•A stationary autotune is performed to locate the flux axis of the motor. The stationary autotune measures the
stator resistance, inductance in flux axis, inductance in torque axis with no load on the motor and values relating
to deadtime compensation from the drive. Measured values are used to calculate the current loop gains, and at
the end of the test the values in Pr 00.038 and Pr 00.039 are updated.
To perform an autotune:
•Set Pr 00.040 = 1 or 2 for a stationary autotune. (Both perform the same tests).
•Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27).
•Close the drive enable signal (terminal 31). The upper row of the display will flash 'Auto Tune' while the drive is
performing the test.
•Wait for the drive to display 'Ready' or 'Inhibit'.
If the drive trips it cannot be reset until the drive enable signal (terminal 31) has been removed. See Chapter
11 Diagnostics on page 183.
•Remove the drive enabled and run signal from the drive.
In sensorless mode, when the motor speed is below Pr 00.045 / 10, a special low speed algorithm must be used to
control the motor. There are two modes available, with the mode chosen based on the saliency of the motor.
The ratio No-load Lq (Pr 00.056) / Ld (Pr 05.024) provides a measure of the saliency. If this value is > 1.1, then
Injection (0) mode may be used (this is default). Current (2) mode may be used (but with limitations). If this value is <
1.1, then Current (2) mode must be used. Non-salient (1) mode is provided for LSRPM motors (this is the default).

To perform an autotune:
•Set Pr 00.040 = 1 or 2 for a stationary autotune. (Both perform the same tests).
•Close the drive enable signal (terminal 31). The drive will display ‘Ready’ or ‘Inhibit’.
•Close the run signal (terminal 26 or 27).

•Wait for the drive to display 'Inhibit' or ‘Ready’.
If the drive trips it cannot be reset until the drive enable signal (terminal 31) has been removed.
•Remove the drive enable from the drive.
If no trip occurs during or after the autotune then this indicates that the drive has been correctly set-up
and is ready to run the Dyneo LSRPM motor. If a User Trip 40 occurs, then this indicates that the motor
rated current or motor rated speed was not recognized as being a valid value for a Dyneo LSRPM
motor. Check the Rated Speed (Pr 00.045) and Rated Current (Pr 00.046) entered in the drive against
the Dyneo LSRPM motors listed in Table 6-3 to Table 6-9 . Correct the values and perform an autotune
again.
In sensorless mode, when the motor speed is below Pr
00.045
/ 10, a special low speed algorithm must
be used to control the motor. There are two modes available, with the mode chosen based on the
saliency of the motor. The Dyneo LSRPM motors have little or no saliency so require the non-salient low
speed mode to be used. Set Pr
00.054
to: Non-salient (1).
Non-salient mode requires the ramp rate to be no slower than 5 s / 1000 rpm when operating in the
region below Rated Speed Pr
00.045
/ 10. The drive contains a feature to ensure that the ramp rate
during the low speed region is at least 4 s / 1000 rpm. This feature is enabled automatically after a
successful set-up of the Dyneo LSRPM motor.

7 Optimization
This chapter takes the user through methods of optimizing the drive set-up and maximize the performance. The auto-tuning features of the drive
simplify the optimization tasks.
7.1 Motor map parameters
7.1.1 Open loop motor control
Pr 00.046 {05.007} Rated CurrentDefines the maximum continuous motor current
•The rated current parameter must be set to the maximum continuous current of the motor. (See section 7.2 Maximum motor rated current on
page 89, for information about setting this parameter higher than the maximum Heavy Duty current rating). The motor rated current is used in
the following:
•Current limits (see section section 7.3 Current limits on page 89, for more information)
•Motor thermal overload protection (see section 7.4 Motor thermal protection on page 89, for more information)
•Vector mode voltage control (see Open Loop Control Mode (00.007), later in this table)
•Slip compensation (see Enable Slip Compensation (05.027), later in this table)
•Dynamic V/F control
Pr 00.044 {05.009} Rated VoltageDefines the voltage applied to the motor at rated frequency
Pr 00.047 {05.006} Rated FrequencyDefines the frequency at which rated voltage is applied
The Rated Voltage (00.044) and the Rated Frequency (00.047) are used
to define the voltage to frequency characteristic applied to the motor (see
Open Loop Control Mode (00.007), later in this table). The Rated
Frequency (00.047) is also used in conjunction with the motor rated
speed to calculate the rated slip for slip compensation (see Rated Speed
(00.045), later in this table).
Pr 00.045 {05.008} Rated SpeedDefines the full load rated speed of the motor
Pr 00.042 {05.011} Number Of Motor PolesDefines the number of motor poles
The motor rated speed and the number of poles are used with the motor rated frequency to calculate the rated slip of induction machines in Hz.
Rated slip (Hz) = Motor rated frequency - (Number of pole pairs x [Motor rated speed / 60]) =
If Pr 00.045 is set to 0 or to synchronous speed, slip compensation is disabled. If slip compensation is required this parameter should be set to the
nameplate value, which should give the correct rpm for a hot machine. Sometimes it will be necessary to adjust this when the drive is commissioned
because the nameplate value may be inaccurate. Slip compensation will operate correctly both below base speed and within the field-weakening
region. Slip compensation is normally used to correct for the motor speed to prevent speed variation with load. The rated load rpm can be set higher
than synchronous speed to deliberately introduce speed droop. This can be useful to aid load sharing with mechanically coupled motors.
Pr 00.042 is also used in the calculation of the motor speed display by the drive for a given output frequency. When Pr 00.042 is set to ‘Automatic’,
the number of motor poles is automatically calculated from the rated frequency Pr 00.047, and the motor rated speed Pr 00.045.
Number of poles = 120 x (Rated Frequency (00.047) / Rated Speed (00.045)) rounded to the nearest even number.
Pr 00.043 {05.010} Rated Power FactorDefines the angle between the motor voltage and current
The power factor is the true power factor of the motor, i.e. the angle between the motor voltage and current. The power factor is used in conjunction
with the Rated Current (00.046), to calculate the rated active current and magnetising current of the motor. The rated active current is used
extensively to control the drive, and the magnetising current is used in vector mode stator resistance compensation. It is important that this
parameter is set up correctly. The drive can measure the motor rated power factor by performing a rotating autotune (see Autotune (Pr 00.040),
below).

Pr 0.40 {5.12} Autotune
There are two autotune tests available in open loop mode, a stationary and a rotating test. A rotating autotune should be used whenever possible so
the measured value of power factor of the motor is used by the drive.
•A stationary autotune can be used when the motor is loaded and it is not possible to remove the load from the motor shaft. The stationary test
measures the Stator Resistance (05.017), Transient Inductance (05.024), Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.059) and Current At Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.060) which are required for good performance in vector control modes (see Open Loop Control Mode
(00.007), later in this table). If Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1, then Stator Base Temperature (05.048) is made equal to Stator Temperature (05.046). The stationary autotune does not measure the power factor of the motor so the value on the motor nameplate must be
entered into Pr 00.043. To perform a Stationary autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 1, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31)
and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
•A rotating autotune should only be used if the motor is unloaded. A rotating autotune first performs a stationary autotune, as above, then a
rotating test is performed in which the motor is accelerated with currently selected ramps up to a frequency of Rated Frequency Pr 00.047
{05.006} x
2
/3, and the frequency is maintained at that level for 4 seconds. Stator Inductance (05.025) is measured and this value is used in
conjunction with other motor parameters to calculate Rated Power Factor (05.010). To perform a Rotating autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 2, and
provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
Following the completion of an autotune test the drive will go into the inhibit state. The drive must be placed into a controlled disable condition
before the drive can be made to run at the required reference. The drive can be put in to a controlled disable condition by removing the Safe Torque
Off signal from terminal 31, setting the Drive Enable (06.015) to Off (0) or disabling the drive via the Control Word (06.042) and Control Word Enable
(06.043).
Pr 00.007 {05.014} Open Loop Control Mode
There are several voltage modes available which fall into two categories, vector control and fixed boost.
Vector control
Vector control mode provides the motor with a linear voltage characteristic from 0 Hz to motor Rated Frequency (00.047), and then a constant
voltage above motor rated frequency. When the drive operates between motor rated frequency/50 and motor rated frequency/4, full vector based
stator resistance compensation is applied. When the drive operates between motor rated frequency/4 and motor rated frequency/2 the stator
resistance compensation is gradually reduced to zero as the frequency increases. For the vector modes to operate correctly the Rated Power Factor (00.043) and Stator Resistance (05.017) are required to be set up accurately. The drive can be made to measure these by performing an
autotune (see Pr 00.040 Autotune). The drive can also be made to measure the stator resistance automatically every time the drive is enabled or
the first time the drive is enabled after it is powered up, by selecting one of the vector control voltage modes.
(0) Ur S = The stator resistance is measured and the parameter for the selected motor map is over-written each time the drive is made to run.
This test can only be done with a stationary motor where the flux has decayed to zero. Therefore this mode should only be used if the motor is
guaranteed to be stationary each time the drive is made to run. To prevent the test from being done before the flux has decayed there is a period
of 1 second after the drive has been in the ready state during which the test is not done if the drive is made to run again. In this case, previously
measured values are used. Ur S mode ensures that the drive compensates for any change in motor parameters due to changes in temperature.
The new value of stator resistance is not automatically saved to the drive's EEPROM.
(1) Ur = The stator resistance is not measured. The user can enter the motor and cabling resistance into the Stator Resistance (05.017).
However this will not include resistance effects within the drive inverter. Therefore if this mode is to be used, it is best to use an autotune test
initially to measure the stator resistance.
(3) Ur_Auto = The stator resistance is measured once, the first time the drive is made to run. After the test has been completed successfully
the Open Loop Control Mode (00.007) is changed to Ur mode. The Stator Resistance (05.017) parameter is written to, and along with the Open
Loop Control Mode (00.007), are saved in the drive's EEPROM. If the test fails, the voltage mode will change to Ur mode but the Stator
Resistance (05.017) is not updated.
(4) Ur I = The stator resistance is measured when the drive is first made to run after each power-up. This test can only be done with a stationary
motor. Therefore this mode should only be used if the motor is guaranteed to be stationary the first time the drive is made to run after each
power-up. The new value of stator resistance is not automatically saved to the drive's EEPROM.
Fixed boost
The stator resistance is not used in the control of the motor, instead a fixed characteristic with low frequency voltage boost as defined by Pr 00.008,
is used. Fixed boost mode should be used when the drive is controlling multiple motors. There are two settings of fixed boost available:
(2) Fixed = This mode provides the motor with a linear voltage characteristic from 0 Hz to Rated Frequency (00.047), and then a constant
voltage above rated frequency.
(5) Square = This mode provides the motor with a square law voltage characteristic from 0 Hz to Rated Frequency (00.0 47), and then a
constant voltage above rated frequency. This mode is suitable for variable torque applications like fans and pumps where the load is
proportional to the square of the speed of the motor shaft. This mode should not be used if a high starting torque is required.
The stator resistance is not used in the control of the motor, instead a fixed characteristic with low frequency voltage boost as defined by parameter
Pr 00.008, is used. Fixed boost mode should be used when the drive is controlling multiple motors. There are two settings of fixed boost available:
(2) Fixed = This mode provides the motor with a linear voltage characteristic from 0 Hz to Rated Frequency (00.047), and then a constant voltage
above rated frequency.
(5) Square = This mode provides the motor with a square law voltage characteristic from 0 Hz to Rated Frequency (00.047), and then a constant
voltage above rated frequency. This mode is suitable for variable torque applications like fans and pumps where the load is proportional to the
square of the speed of the motor shaft. This mode should not be used if a high starting torque is required.
For both these modes, at low frequencies (from 0Hz to ½ x Pr 00.047) a voltage boost is applied defined by Pr 00.008 as shown below:
Pr 05.027 Enable Slip Compensation
When a motor, being controlled in open loop mode, has load applied a characteristic of the motor is that the output speed droops in proportion to the
load applied as shown:
In order to prevent the speed droop shown above slip compensation should be enabled. To enable slip compensation Pr 05.027 must be set to a 1
(this is the default setting), and the motor rated speed must be entered in Pr 00.045 {05.008}.
The motor rated speed parameter should be set to the synchronous speed of the motor minus the slip speed. This is normally displayed on the
motor nameplate, i.e. for a typical 18.5 kW, 50 Hz, 4 pole motor, the motor rated speed would be approximately 1465 rpm. The synchronous speed
for a 50 Hz, 4 pole motor is 1500 rpm, so therefore the slip speed would be 35 rpm. If the synchronous speed is entered in Pr 00.045, slip
compensation will be disabled. If too small a value is entered in Pr 00.045, the motor will run faster than the demanded frequency. The synchronous
speeds for 50 Hz motors with different numbers of poles are as follows:
2 pole = 3000 rpm, 4 pole = 1500 rpm, 6pole =1000 rpm, 8 pole = 750 rpm

7.1.2 RFC-A Mode
Induction motor with position feedback (using SI-Encoder module)
Pr 00.046 {05.007} Motor Rated CurrentDefines the maximum motor continuous current
The motor rated current parameter must be set to the maximum continuous current of the motor. (See section 7.2 Maximum motor rated current on
page 89, for information about setting this parameter higher than the maximum Heavy Duty current rating.) The motor rated current is used in the
following:
•Current limits (see section 7.3 Current limits on page 89, for more information).
•Motor thermal overload protection (see section 7.4 Motor thermal protection on page 89, for more information)
•Vector control algorithm
Pr 00.044 {05.009} Rated VoltageDefines the voltage applied to the motor at rated frequency
Pr 00.047 {05.006} Rated FrequencyDefines the frequency at which rated voltage is applied
The Rated Voltage (00.044) and the Rated Frequency (00.047) are used
to define the voltage to frequency characteristic applied to the motor (see
Open Loop Control Mode (00.007), later in this table). The motor rated
frequency is also used in conjunction with the motor rated speed to
calculate the rated slip for slip compensation (see motor Rated Speed
(00.045), later in this table).
Pr 00.045 {05.008} Rated SpeedDefines the full load rated speed of the motor
Pr 00.042 {05.011} Number Of Motor PolesDefines the number of motor poles
The motor rated speed and motor rated frequency are used to determine the full load slip of the motor which is used by the vector control algorithm.
Incorrect setting of this parameter has the following effects:
•Reduced efficiency of motor operation
•Reduction of maximum torque available from the motor
•Reduced transient performance
•Inaccurate control of absolute torque in torque control modes
The nameplate value is normally the value for a hot motor; however, some adjustment may be required when the drive is commissioned if the
nameplate value is inaccurate. Either a fixed value can be entered in this parameter or an optimization system may be used to automatically adjust
this parameter (see Rated Speed Optimization Select Pr 00.033 {05.016}, later in this table).
When Pr 00.042 is set to 'Automatic', the number of motor poles is automatically calculated from the motor Rated Frequency (00.047), and the
motor Rated Speed (00.045).
Number of poles = 120 x (Motor Rated Frequency (00.047 / Motor Rated Speed (00.045) rounded to the nearest even number.
Pr 00.043 {5.010} Rated Power FactorDefines the angle between the motor voltage and current
The power factor is the true power factor of the motor, i.e. the angle between the motor voltage and current. If the Stator Inductance (05.025) is set
to zero then the power factor is used in conjunction with the motor Rated Current (00.046) and other motor parameters to calculate the rated active
and magnetising currents of the motor, which are used in the vector control algorithm. If the stator inductance has a non-zero value this parameter
is not used by the drive, but is continuously written with a calculated value of power factor. The stator inductance can be measured by the drive by
performing a rotating autotune (see Autotune (Pr 00.040), later in this table).

Pr 00.040 {05.012} Autotune
There are four autotune tests available in RFC-A mode, a stationary test, a rotating test and two inertia measurement tests. A stationary autotune
will give moderate performance whereas a rotating autotune will give improved performance as it measures the actual values of the motor
parameters required by the drive. An inertia measurement test should be performed separately to a stationary or rotating autotune.
It is highly recommended that a rotating autotune is performed (Pr 00.040 set to 2).
•A stationary autotune can be used when the motor is loaded and it is not possible to remove the load from the motor shaft. The stationary
autotune measures the Stator Resistance (05.017) and Transient Inductance (05.024) of the motor. These are used to calculate the current loop
gains, and at the end of the test the values in Pr 00.038 {04.013} and Pr 00.039 {04.014} are updated. Maximum Deadtime Compensation
(05.059) and Current AtMaximum Deadtime Compensation (05.060) for the drive are also measured. Additionally, if Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1, then Stator Base Temperature (05.048) is made equal to Stator Temperature (05.046). A stationary autotune does
not measure the power factor of the motor so the value on the motor nameplate must be entered into Pr 00.043. To perform a stationary
autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 1, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
•A rotating autotune should only be used if the motor is unloaded. A rotating autotune first performs a stationary autotune, a rotating test is then
performed in which the motor is accelerated with currently selected ramps up to a frequency of Rated Frequency Pr 00.047 {05.006} x 2/3, and
the frequency is maintained at the level for up to 40 s. During the rotating autotune the Stator Inductance (05.025), and the motor saturation
breakpoints (Pr 05.029, Pr 05.030, Pr 06.062 and Pr 05.063) are modified by the drive. The power factor is also modified for user information
only, but is not used after this point as the stator inductance is used in the vector control algorithm instead. To perform a Rotating autotune, set
Pr 00.040 to 2, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
•The inertia measurement test can measure the total inertia of the load and the motor. This is used to set the speed loop gains (see Speed loop
gains) and to provide torque feed-forwards when required during acceleration.
Two tests are available:
Signal injection (when using an SI-Encoder module) This test measures the mechanical characteristic of the motor and load by rotating the
motor at the speed defined by the present speed reference and injecting a series of speed test signals. This test should only be used provided
all the basic control parameters have been set-up correctly and the speed controller parameters should be set to conservative l
evels, such as
the default values, so that the motor is stable when it runs. If Mechanical Load TestLevel (05.021) is left at its default value of zero then the
peak level of the injection signal will be 1 % of the maximum speed reference subject to a maximum of 500 rpm. If a different test level is
required then Mechanical Load Test Level (05.021) should be set to a non-zero value to define the level as a percentage of the maximum speed
reference, again subject to a maximum of 500 rpm. The user defined speed reference which defines the speed of the motor should be set to a
level higher than the test level, but not high enough for flux weakening to become active. In some cases however, it is possible to perform the
test at zero speed provided the motor is free to move, but it may be necessary to increase the test signal from the default value. The test will
give the correct results when there is a static load applied to the motor and in the presence of mechanical damping. To perform an Inertia
measurement autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 3, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or
27).
If the speed controller cannot be set up for stable operation an alternative test is provided, where a series of torque levels are applied to
accelerate and decelerate the motor to measure the inertia.
Applied torque (sensorless mode) This test may give inaccurate results, if the motor rated speed is not set to the correct value for the motor,
or if standard ramp mode is active. During the inertia measurement test a series of progressively larger torque levels are applied to the motor
(20 %, 40 % ... 100 % of rated torque) to accelerate the motor up to
3
/4 x Rated Speed Pr 00.045 {05.008} to determine the inertia from the
acceleration/deceleration time. The test attempts to reach the required speed within 5 s, but if this fails the next torque level is used. When 100
% torque is used the test allows 60 s for the required speed to be reached, but if this is unsucessful an Autotune trip is initiated. To reduce the
time taken for the test it is possible to define the level of torque to be used for the test by setting Mechanical Load Test Level (05.021) to a nonzero value. When the test level is defined the test is only carried out at the defined test level and 60 s is allowed for the motor to reach the
required speed. It should be noted that if the maximum speed allows for flux weakening then it may not be possible to achieve the required
torque level to accelerate the motor quickly enough. If this is the case, the maximum speed reference should be reduced. To perform an Inertia
measurement autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 3, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or
27).
Following the completion of an autotune test the drive will go into the inhibit state. The drive must be placed into a controlled disable condition
before the drive can be made to run at the required reference. The drive can be put in to a controlled disable condition by removing the Safe Torque
Off signal from terminal 31, setting the Drive Enable (06.015) to Off (0) or disabling the drive via the control word (Pr 06.042 & Pr 06.043)
Pr 00.033 {05.016} Rated Speed Optimization Select(When using an SI-Encoder option module)
The motor Rated Speed (00.045) in conjunction with the motor Rated Frequency (00.047) defines the full load slip of the motor. The slip is used in
the motor model for RFC-A control. The full load slip of the motor varies with rotor resistance which can vary significantly with motor temperature.
When Pr 00.033 {05.016} is set to 1 or 2 the drive can automatically sense if the value of slip defined by Pr 00.047 and Pr 00.045 has been set
incorrectly or if it has varied with motor temperature. If the value is incorrect Pr 00.045 is automatically adjusted. Pr 00.045 is not saved at powerdown, and so when the drive is powered-down and up again it will return to the last saved value. If the new value is required at the next power-up it
must be saved by the user.
The adaptive control system is only enabled when the |Output Frequency Pr 00.011 {05.001}| is above Rated Frequency Pr 00.047 {05.006} / 8, and
the |Percentage Load (04.020)| is greater than 60 %. The adaptive control system is disabled again if the |Percentage Load (04.020)| falls below 50
%. For best optimization results the correct values of Stator Resistance (05.017), Transient Inductance (05.024), Stator Inductance (05.025),
Saturation Breakpoint 1 (05.029), Saturation Breakpoint 2 (05.062), Saturation Breakpoint 3 (05.030) and Saturation Breakpoint 4 (05.063) should
be used.
If Rated Speed Optimization Select Pr 00.033 {05.016} = 1 the gain of the adaptive control system is low and hence the rate at which it converges is
slow. If Rated Speed Optimization Select Pr 00.033 {05.016} = 2 the gain is increased by a factor of 16 and the convergence rate is increased.

Pr 00.038 {04.013} / Pr 00.039 {04.014} Current Loop Gains
The current loop gains proportional (Kp) and integral (Ki) gains control the response of the current loop to a change in current (torque) demand. The
default values give satisfactory operation with most motors. However, for optimal performance in dynamic applications it may be necessary to
change the gains to improve the performance. The Current Controller Kp Gain Pr 00.038 {04.013} is the most critical value in controlling the
performance. The values for the current loop gains can be calculated by performing a stationary or rotating autotune (see Autotune Pr 00.040,
earlier in this table) the drive measures the Stator Resistance (05.017) and Transient Inductance (05.024) of the motor and calculates the current
loop gains.
This will give a step response with minimum overshoot after a step change of current reference. The proportional gain can be increased by a factor
of 1.5 giving a similar increase in bandwidth; however, this gives a step response with approximately 12.5 % overshoot. The equation for the integral
gain gives a conservative value. In some applications where it is necessary for the reference frame used by the drive to dynamically follow the flux
very closely (i.e. high speed Sensorless RFC-A induction motor applications) the integral gain may need to have a significantly higher value.

Proportional Gain Kp1 Pr 00.007 {03.010}, Speed Controller Integral Gain
Ki1 Pr 00.008 {03.011} and Speed Controller Differential Feedback Gain
Kd1 Pr 00.009 {03.012} are set up to give a closed-loop speed controller
response that approximates to a first order system with a transfer function of
1 / (sτ + 1), where τ= 1/ωbw and ωbw = 2π x Bandwidth (03.020). In this
case the damping factor is meaningless, and Damping Factor (03.021) and
Compliance Angle (03.019) have no effect.
The speed loop gains control the response of the speed controller to a change in speed demand. The speed controller includes proportional (Kp)
and integral (Ki) feed forward terms, and a differential (Kd) feedback term. The drive holds two sets of these gains and either set may be selected for
use by the speed controller with Pr 03.016. If Pr 03.016 = 0, gains Kp1, Ki1 and Kd1 (Pr 00.007 to Pr 00.009) are used, and if Pr 03.016 = 1, gains
Kp2, Ki2 and Kd2 (Pr 03.013 to Pr 03.015) are used. Pr 03.016 may be changed when the drive is enabled or disabled. If the load is predominantly
a constant inertia and constant torque, the drive can calculate the required Kp and Ki gains to give a required compliance angle or bandwidth
dependant on the setting of Pr 03.017.
Speed Controller Proportional Gain (Kp), Pr 00.007 {03.010} and Pr 03.013
If the proportional gain has a value and the integral gain is set to zero the controller will only have a proportional term, and there must be a speed
error to produce a torque reference. Therefore as the motor load increases there will be a difference between the reference and actual speeds. This
effect, called regulation, depends on the level of the proportional gain, the higher the gain the smaller the speed error for a given load. If the
proportional gain is too high either the acoustic noise produced by speed feedback quantization becomes unacceptable, or the stability limit is
reached.
Speed Controller Integral Gain (Ki), Pr 00.008 {03.011} and Pr 03.014
The integral gain is provided to prevent speed regulation. The error is accumulated over a period of time and used to produce the necessary torque
demand without any speed error. Increasing the integral gain reduces the time taken for the speed to reach the correct level and increases the
stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional displacement produced by applying a load torque to the motor. Unfortunately increasing the
integral gain also reduces the system damping giving overshoot after a transient. For a given integral gain the damping can be improved by
increasing the proportional gain. A compromise must be reached where the system response, stiffness and damping are all adequate for the
application. For RFC-A Sensorless mode, it is unlikely that the integral gain can be increased much above 0.50.
Differential Gain (Kd), Pr 00.009 {0 3.012} and Pr 03.015
The differential gain is provided in the feedback of the speed controller to give additional damping. The differential term is implemented in a way that
does not introduce excessive noise normally associated with this type of function. Increasing the differential term reduces the overshoot produced
by under-damping, however, for most applications the proportional and integral gains alone are sufficient.
There are six methods of tuning the speed loop gains dependant on the
setting of Pr 03.017:
1. Pr 03.017 = 0, User set-up.
This involves the connecting of an oscilloscope to analog output 1 to
monitor the speed feedback.
Give the drive a step change in speed reference and monitor the
response of the drive on the oscilloscope.
The proportional gain (Kp) should be set up initially. The value
should be increased up to the point where the speed overshoots and
then reduced slightly.
The integral gain (Ki) should then be increased up to the point where
the speed becomes unstable and then reduced slightly.
It may now be possible to increase the proportional gain to a higher
value and the process should be repeated until the system response
matches the ideal response as shown.
The diagram shows the effect of incorrect P and I gain settings as
well as the ideal response.
2. Pr 03.017 = 1, Bandwidth set-up
If bandwidth based set-up is required, the drive can calculate Kp and
Ki if the following parameters are set up correctly:
Pr 03.018 - Motor and load inertia.
The drive can be made to measure the motor and load inertia by
performing an inertia measurement autotune (see Autotune
Pr 00.040, earlier in this table).
3. Pr 03.017 = 2, Compliance angle set-up
If compliance angle based set-up is required, the drive can calculate
Kp and Ki if the following parameters are set up correctly:
Pr 03.019 - Required compliance angle,
Pr 03.021 - Required damping factor,
Pr 03.018 - Motor and load inertia The drive can be made to
measure the motor and load inertia by performing an inertia

7.1.3 RFC-A Sensorless mode
Induction motor without position feedback
Pr 00.046 {05.007} Motor Rated CurrentDefines the maximum motor continuous current
The motor rated current parameter must be set to the maximum continuous current of the motor. (See section 7.2 Maximum motor rated current on
page 89, for information about setting this parameter higher than the maximum Heavy Duty current rating.) The motor rated current is used in the
following:
•Current limits (see section 7.3 Current limits on page 89, for more information).
•Motor thermal overload protection (see section 7.4 Motor thermal protection on page 89, for more information)
•Vector control algorithm
Pr 00.044 {05.009} Rated VoltageDefines the voltage applied to the motor at rated frequency
Pr 00.047 {05.006} Rated FrequencyDefines the frequency at which rated voltage is applied
The Rated Voltage (00.044) and the Rated Frequency (00.047) are used
to define the voltage to frequency characteristic applied to the motor (see
Open Loop Control Mode (00.007), later in this table). The motor rated
frequency is also used in conjunction with the motor rated speed to
calculate the rated slip for slip compensation (see motor Rated Speed
(00.045), later in this table).
Pr 00.045 {05.008} Rated SpeedDefines the full load rated speed of the motor
Pr 00.042 {05.011} Number Of Motor PolesDefines the number of motor poles
The motor rated speed and motor rated frequency are used to determine the full load slip of the motor which is used by the vector control algorithm.
Incorrect setting of this parameter has the following effects:
•Reduced efficiency of motor operation
•Reduction of maximum torque available from the motor
•Reduced transient performance
•Inaccurate control of absolute torque in torque control modes
The nameplate value is normally the value for a hot motor; however, some adjustment may be required when the drive is commissioned if the
nameplate value is inaccurate. Either a fixed value can be entered in this parameter or an optimization system may be used to automatically adjust
this parameter (see Rated Speed Optimization Select Pr 00.033 {05.016}, later in this table).
When Pr 00.042 is set to 'Automatic', the number of motor poles is automatically calculated from the motor Rated Frequency (00.047), and the
motor Rated Speed (00.045).
Number of poles = 120 x (Motor Rated Frequency (00.047 / Motor Rated Speed (00.045) rounded to the nearest even number.
Pr 00.043 {5.010} Rated Power FactorDefines the angle between the motor voltage and current
The power factor is the true power factor of the motor, i.e. the angle between the motor voltage and current. If the Stator Inductance (05.025) is set
to zero then the power factor is used in conjunction with the motor Rated Current (00.046) and other motor parameters to calculate the rated active
and magnetising currents of the motor, which are used in the vector control algorithm. If the stator inductance has a non-zero value this parameter
is not used by the drive, but is continuously written with a calculated value of power factor. The stator inductance can be measured by the drive by
performing a rotating autotune (see Autotune (Pr 00.040), later in this table).

Pr 00.040 {05.012} Autotune
There are three autotune tests available in RFC-A mode, a stationary test, a rotating test and an inertia measurement test. A stationary autotune will
give moderate performance whereas a rotating autotune will give improved performance as it measures the actual values of the motor parameters
required by the drive. An inertia measurement test should be performed separately to a stationary or rotating autotune.
It is highly recommended that a rotating autotune is performed (Pr 00.040 set to 2).
•A stationary autotune can be used when the motor is loaded and it is not possible to remove the load from the motor shaft. The stationary
autotune measures the Stator Resistance (05.017) and Transient Inductance (05.024) of the motor. These are used to calculate the current loop
gains, and at the end of the test the values in Pr 00.038 {04.013} and Pr 00.039 {04.014} are updated. Maximum Deadtime Compensation
(05.059) and Current At Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.060) for the drive are also measured. Additionally, if Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1, then Stator Base Temperature (05.048) is made equal to Stator Temperature (05.046). A stationary autotune does
not measure the power factor of the motor so the value on the motor nameplate must be entered into Pr 00.043. To perform a stationary
autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 1, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
•A rotating autotune should only be used if the motor is unloaded. A rotating autotune first performs a stationary autotune, a rotating test is then
performed in which the motor is accelerated with currently selected ramps up to a frequency of Rated Frequency Pr 00.047 {05.006} x 2/3, and
the frequency is maintained at the level for up to 40 s. During the rotating autotune the Stator Inductance (05.025), and the motor saturation
breakpoints (Pr 05.029, Pr 05.030, Pr 06.062 and Pr 05.063) are modified by the drive. The power factor is also modified for user information
only, but is not used after this point as the stator inductance is used in the vector control algorithm instead. To perform a Rotating autotune, set
Pr 00.040 to 2, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
•The inertia measurement test can measure the total inertia of the load and the motor. This is used to set the speed loop gains (see Speed loop
gains) and to provide torque feed-forwards when required during acceleration.
Applied torque (sensorless mode) This test may give inaccurate results, if the motor rated speed is not set to the correct value for the motor,
or if standard ramp mode is active. During the inertia measurement test a series of progressively larger torque levels are applied to the motor
(20 %, 40 % ... 100 % of rated torque) to accelerate the motor up to
3
/4 x Rated Speed Pr 00.045 {05.008} to determine the inertia from the
acceleration/deceleration time. The test attempts to reach the required speed within 5 s, but if this fails the next torque level is used. When 100
% torque is used the test allows 60 s for the required speed to be reached, but if this is unsucessful an Autotune trip is initiated. To reduce the
time taken for the test it is possible to define the level of torque to be used for the test by setting Mechanical Load Test Level (05.021) to a nonzero value. When the test level is defined the test is only carried out at the defined test level and 60 s is allowed for the motor to reach the
required speed. It should be noted that if the maximum speed allows for flux weakening then it may not be possible to achieve the required
torque level to accelerate the motor quickly enough. If this is the case, the maximum speed reference should be reduced. To perform an Inertia
measurement autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 4, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26 or
27).
Following the completion of an autotune test the drive will go into the inhibit state. The drive must be placed into a controlled disable condition
before the drive can be made to run at the required reference. The drive can be put in to a controlled disable condition by removing the Safe Torque
Off signal from terminal 31, setting the Drive Enable (06.015) to Off (0) or disabling the drive via the control word (Pr 06.042 & Pr 06.043)

dependant on the setting of Pr 03.017.
Speed Controller Proportional Gain (Kp), Pr 00.007 {03.010} and Pr 03.013
If the proportional gain has a value and the integral gain is set to zero the controller will only have a proportional term, and there must be a speed
error to produce a torque reference. Therefore as the motor load increases there will be a difference between the reference and actual speeds. This
effect, called regulation, depends on the level of the proportional gain, the higher the gain the smaller the speed error for a given load. If the
proportional gain is too high either the acoustic noise produced by speed feedback quantization becomes unacceptable, or the stability limit is

The integral gain is provided to prevent speed regulation. The error is accumulated over a period of time and used to produce the necessary torque
demand without any speed error. Increasing the integral gain reduces the time taken for the speed to reach the correct level and increases the
stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional displacement produced by applying a load torque to the motor. Unfortunately increasing the
integral gain also reduces the system damping giving overshoot after a transient. For a given integral gain the damping can be improved by

The proportional gain (Kp) should be set up initially. The value

The integral gain (Ki) should then be increased up to the point where

The number of motor poles parameter defines the number of electrical revolutions in one whole mechanical revolution of the motor. This parameter
must be set correctly for the control algorithms to operate correctly. When Pr 00.042 is set to "Automatic" the number of poles is 6.
Pr 00.040 {05.012} Autotune
There are three autotune tests available in RFC-S sensorless mode, a stationary autotune and an inertia measurement test.
•Stationary Autotune (Pr 00.040 {05.012} = 1)
The stationary autotune can be used to measure all the necessary parameters for basic control. The tests measures Stator Resistance (05.017), Ld
(05.024), No Load Lq Pr 00.056 {05.072}, Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.059) and Current At Maximum Deadtime Compensation (05.060).
If Enable Stator Compensation (05.049) = 1 then Stator Base Temperature (05.048) is made equal to Stator Temperature (05.046). The Stator
Resistance (05.017) and Ld (05.024) are then used to set up Current controller Kp Gain Pr 00.038 {04.013} and Current Controller Ki Gain Pr
00.039 {04.014}. To perform a Stationary autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 1, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run
signal (on terminal 26 or 27).
•Rotating Autotune (Pr 00.040 {05.012} = 2)
In sensorless mode, if Rotating autotune is selected (Pr 00.040 = 2), then a stationary autotune is performed.
•Inertia measurement test (Pr 00.040 {05.012} = 4)
NOTE: It is not possible to perform this test if, after autotune, the ratio No load Lq Pr 00.056 {05.072} / Ld (05.024) < 1.1 and Pr 00.054 {05.064} has
been set to Non-salient.
The inertia measurement test can measure the total inertia of the load and the motor. This is used to set the speed loop gains (see Speed loop
gains) and to provide torque feed-forwards when required during acceleration. The test may give inaccurate results, if the motor rated speed is not
set to the correct value for the motor, or if standard ramp mode is active. During the inertia measurement test a series of progressively larger torque
levels are applied to the motor (20 %, 40 % ... 100 % of rated torque) to accelerate the motor up to 3/4 x Rated Speed Pr 00.045 {05.008
determine the inertia from the acceleration/deceleration time. The test attempts to reach the required speed within 5 s, but if this fails the next torque
level is used. When 100 % torque is used the test allows 60 s for the required speed to be reached, but if this is unsucessful an Autotune trip is
initiated. To reduce the time taken for the test it is possible to define the level of torque to be used for the test by setting Mechanical Load Test Level
(05.021) to a non-zero value. When the test level is defined the test is only carried out at the defined test level and 60 s is allowed for the motor to
reach the required speed. It should be noted that if the maximum speed allows for flux weakening then it may not be possible to achieve the
required torque level to accelerate the motor quickly enough. If this is the case, the maximum speed reference should be reduced. To perform an
Inertia measurement autotune, set Pr 00.040 to 4, and provide the drive with both an enable signal (on terminal 31) and a run signal (on terminal 26
or 27).
Following the completion of an autotune test the drive will go into the inhibit state. The drive must be placed into a controlled disable condition
before the drive can be made to run at the required reference. The drive can be put in to a controlled disable condition by removing the Safe
Torque Off signal from terminal 31, setting the drive Enable Parameter (06.015) to Off (0) or disabling the drive via the control word
(Pr 06.042 & Pr 06.043).

Pr 00.038 {04.013} / Pr 00.039 {04.014} Current Loop Gains
The current loop gains proportional (Kp) and integral (Ki) gains control the response of the current loop to a change in current (torque) demand. The
default values give satisfactory operation with most motors. However, for optimal performance in dynamic applications it may be necessary to
change the gains to improve the performance. The proportional gain Pr 00.038 {04.013} is the most critical value in controlling the performance. The
values for the current loop gains can be calculated by performing a stationary or rotating autotune (see Autotune Pr 00.040, earlier in this table) the
drive measures the Stator Resistance (05.017) and Transient Inductance (05.024) of the motor and calculates the current loop gains.
This will give a step response with minimum overshoot after a step change of current reference. The proportional gain can be increased by a factor
of 1.5 giving a similar increase in bandwidth; however, this gives a step response with approximately 12.5 % overshoot. The equation for the integral
gain gives a conservative value. In some applications where it is necessary for the reference frame used by the drive to dynamically follow the flux
very closely the integral gain may need to have a significantly higher value.

1 / (sτ + 1), where τ= 1/ωbw and ωbw = 2π x Bandwidth (03.020). In this
case the damping factor is meaningless, and Damping Factor (03.021) and
Compliance Angle (03.019) have no effect.
5. Pr 03.017 = 4 - 6
If Speed Controller Set-up Method (03.017) is set to a value from 4 to 6 the
Speed Controller Proportional Gain Kp1 Pr 00.007 {03.010} and Speed
Controller Integral Gain Ki1 Pr 00.008 {03.011} are automatically set up to
give the bandwidths given in the table below and a damping factor of unity.
These settings give low, standard or high performance.
The speed loop gains control the response of the speed controller to a change in speed demand. The speed controller includes proportional (Kp)
and integral (Ki) feed forward terms, and a differential (Kd) feedback term. The drive holds two sets of these gains and either set may be selected for
use by the speed controller with Pr 03.016. If Pr 03.016 = 0, gains Kp1, Ki1 and Kd1 (Pr 00.007 to Pr 00.009) are used, and if Pr 03.016 = 1, gains
Kp2, Ki2 and Kd2 (Pr 03.013 to Pr 03.015) are used. Pr 03.016 may be changed when the drive is enabled or disabled. If the load is predominantly
a constant inertia and constant torque, the drive can calculate the required Kp and Ki gains to give a required compliance angle or bandwidth
dependant on the setting of Pr 03.017.
NOTE: In sensorless mode, the speed controller bandwidth may need to be limited to 10 Hz or less for stable operation.
Speed Controller Proportional Gain (Kp), Pr 00.007 {03.010} and Pr 03.013
If the proportional gain has a value and the integral gain is set to zero the controller will only have a proportional term, and there must be a speed
error to produce a torque reference. Therefore as the motor load increases there will be a difference between the reference and actual speeds. This
effect, called regulation, depends on the level of the proportional gain, the higher the gain the smaller the speed error for a given load. If the
proportional gain is too high either the acoustic noise produced by speed feedback quantization becomes unacceptable, or the stability limit is
reached.
Speed Controller Integral Gain (Ki), Pr 00.008 {03.011} and Pr 03.014
The integral gain is provided to prevent speed regulation. The error is accumulated over a period of time and used to produce the necessary torque
demand without any speed error. Increasing the integral gain reduces the time taken for the speed to reach the correct level and increases the
stiffness of the system, i.e. it reduces the positional displacement produced by applying a load torque to the motor. Unfortunately increasing the
integral gain also reduces the system damping giving overshoot after a transient. For a given integral gain the damping can be improved by
increasing the proportional gain. A compromise must be reached where the system response, stiffness and damping are all adequate for the
application. For RFC-S Sensorless mode, it is unlikely that the integral gain can be increased much above 0.50.
Differential Gain (Kd), Pr 00.009 {0 3.012} and Pr 03.015
The differential gain is provided in the feedback of the speed controller to give additional damping. The differential term is implemented in a way that
does not introduce excessive noise normally associated with this type of function. Increasing the differential term reduces the overshoot produced
by under-damping, however, for most applications the proportional and integral gains alone are sufficient.
There are six methods of tuning the speed loop gains dependant on the
setting of Pr 03.017:
1. Pr 03.017 = 0, User set-up.
This involves the connecting of an oscilloscope to analog output 1 to
monitor the speed feedback.
Give the drive a step change in speed reference and monitor the
response of the drive on the oscilloscope.
The proportional gain (Kp) should be set up initially. The value
should be increased up to the point where the speed overshoots and
then reduced slightly.
The integral gain (Ki) should then be increased up to the point where
the speed becomes unstable and then reduced slightly.
It may now be possible to increase the proportional gain to a higher
value and the process should be repeated until the system response
matches the ideal response as shown.
The diagram shows the effect of incorrect P and I gain settings as
well as the ideal response.
2. Pr 03.017 = 1, Bandwidth set-up
If bandwidth based set-up is required, the drive can calculate Kp and
Ki if the following parameters are set up correctly:
Pr 03.018 - Motor and load inertia.
The drive can be made to measure the motor and load inertia by
performing an inertia measurement autotune (see Autotune
Pr 00.040, earlier in this table).
3. Pr 03.017 = 2, Compliance angle set-up
If compliance angle based set-up is required, the drive can calculate
Kp and Ki if the following parameters are set up correctly:
Pr 03.019 - Required compliance angle,
Pr 03.021 - Required damping factor,
Pr 03.018 - Motor and load inertia The drive can be made to
measure the motor and load inertia by performing an inertia
88 Unidrive M600 Control User Guide
measurement autotune (see Autotune Pr 00.040, earlier in this
table).
4. Pr 03.017 = 3, Kp gains times 16
If Speed Controller Set-up Method (03.017) = 3 the selected
proportional gain used by the drive is multiplied by 16.

7.2 Maximum motor rated current
The maximum motor rated current allowed by the drive is greater than
the Maximum Heavy Duty Current Rating Pr 00.032 {11.032}. The ratio
between the Normal Duty rating (11.060) and the Maximum Heavy Duty Current Rating Pr 00.032 {11.032} varies between drive sizes. The
values for the Normal and Heavy Duty rating can be found in the
appropriate Power Installation Guide for the drive. If the motor Rated Current (00.046) is set above the Maximum Heavy Duty Current Rating
Pr 00.032 {11.032}, the current limits and the motor thermal protection
scheme are modified (see section 7.3 and section 7.4 for more
information).
7.3 Current limits
The default setting for the current limit parameters are:
•165 % x motor rated torque producing current for open loop mode
•175 % x motor rated torque producing current for RFC-A and RFC-S
modes
There are three parameters which control the current limits:
•Motoring current limit: power flowing from the drive to the motor
•Regen current limit: power flowing from the motor to the drive
•Symmetrical current limit: current limit for both motoring and regen
operation
The lowest of either the motoring and regen current limit, or the
symmetrical current limit applies.
The maximum setting of these parameters depends on the values of
motor rated current, drive rated current and the power factor.
Increasing the motor rated current (Pr 00.046 {05.007}) above the Heavy
Duty rating (default value), will automatically reduce the current limits in
Pr 04.005 to Pr 04.007. If the motor rated current is then set to or below
the Heavy Duty rating, the current limits will be left at their reduced
values.
The drive can be oversized to permit a higher current limit setting to
provide higher accelerating torque as required up to a maximum of
1000 %.

7.4 Motor thermal protection
A dual time constant thermal model is provided to estimate the motor
temperature as a percentage of its maximum allowed temperature.
The motor thermal protection is modelled using losses in the motor. The
losses in the motor are calculated as a percentage value, so that under
these conditions the Motor Protection Accumulator (04.019) would
eventually reach 100 %.

Both settings of Pr 04.025 are intended for motors where the cooling
effect of the motor fan reduces with reduced motor speed, but with
different speeds below which the cooling effect is reduced. If Pr 04.025
is 0 the characteristic is intended for motors where the cooling effect
reduces with motor speed below 15 % of base speed/frequency. If
Pr 04.025 is 1 the characteristic is intended for motors where the cooling
effect reduces with motor speed below 50 % of base speed/frequency.
The maximum value for K1 is 1.01, so that above the knee of the
characteristics the motor can operate continuously up to 101 % current.
When the estimated temperature in Pr 04.019 reaches 100 % the drive
takes some action depending on the setting of Pr 04.016. If Pr 04.016 is
0, the drive trips when Pr 04.019 reaches 100 %. If Pr 04.016 is 1, the
current limit is reduced to (K - 0.05) x 100 % when Pr 04.019 reaches
100 %.
The current limit is set back to the user defined level when Pr 04.019
falls below 95 %. The thermal model temperature accumulator
accumulates the temperature of the motor while the drive remains
powered-up. By default, the accumulator is set to the power down value
at power up. If the rated current defined by Pr 00.046 {05.007} is altered,
the accumulator is reset to zero.
The default setting of the thermal time constant Pr 00.053 {04.015} is 89
s which is equivalent to an overload of 150 % for 60 s from cold.

output current must be applied.
See the derating tables for switching frequency and ambient
temperature in the Power Installation Guide.
2. Reduced heating of the motor - due to improved output waveform
quality.
3. Reduced acoustic noise generated by the motor.
4. Increased sample rate on the speed and current controllers. A trade
off must be made between motor heating, drive heating and the
demands of the application with respect to the sample time required.

7.6 High speed operation
7.6.1 Field weakening (constant power) operation
(Open loop and RFC-A mode only)
The drive can be used to run an induction machine above synchronous
speed into the constant power region. The speed continues to increase
and the available shaft torque reduces. The characteristics below show
the torque and output voltage characteristics as the speed is increased
above the rated value.
Figure 7-3 Torque and rated voltage against speed
Care must be taken to ensure the torque available above base speed is
sufficient for the application to run satisfactorily.
The saturation breakpoint parameters (Pr 05.029, Pr 05. 030, Pr 05.062
and Pr 05.063) found during the autotune in RFC-A mode ensure the
magnetizing current is reduced in the correct proportion for the specific
motor. (In open loop mode the magnetizing current is not actively
controlled).
7.6.2 Permanent magnet motor high speed operation
High speed servo mode is enabled by setting Pr 05.022 =1. Care must
be taken when using this mode with permanent magnet motor to avoid
damaging the drive. The voltage produced by the permanent magnet
motor magnets is proportional to speed. For high speed operation the
drive must apply currents to the motor to counter-act the flux produced
by the magnets. It is possible to operate the motor at very high speeds
that would give a very high motor terminal voltage, but this voltage is
prevented by the action of the drive.
If however, the drive is disabled (or tripped) when the motor voltages
would be higher than the rating of the drive without the currents to
counter-act the flux from the magnets, it is possible to damage the drive.
If high speed mode is enabled the motor speed must be limited to the
levels given in the table below unless an additional hardware protection
system is used to limit the voltages applied to the drive output terminals
to a safe level.

Ke is the ratio between r.m.s. line to line voltage produced by the motor
and the speed in V/1000 rpm. Care must also be taken not to demagnetize the motor. The motor manufacturer should always be
consulted before using this mode.
By default, high speed operation is disabled (Pr 05.022 = 0).
It is also possible to enable high speed operation, and allow the drive to
automatically limit the motor speed to the levels specified in the tables
and generate an Overspeed.1 trip if the levels are exceeded (Pr 05.022
= -1)

7.6.3 Maximum speed / frequency
In all operating modes (Open loop, RFC-A and RFC-S) the maximum
output frequency is limited to 550 Hz. However, in RFC-S mode the
speed is also limited by the voltage constant (Ke) of the motor. Ke is a
specific constant for the servo motor being used. It can normally be
found on the motor data sheet in V/k rpm (volts per 1,000 rpm).
7.6.4 Switching frequency
With a default switching frequency of 3 kHz the maximum output
frequency should be limited to 250 Hz. Ideally a minimum ratio of 12:1
should be maintained between the output frequency and the switching
frequency. This ensures the number of switchings per cycle is sufficient
to ensure the output waveform quality is maintained at a minimum level.
If this is not possible, quasi-square switching should be enabled
(Pr 05.020 =1). The output waveform will be quasi square above base
speed ensuring a symmetrical output waveform, which results in a better
quality output than would otherwise result.
7.6.5 Quasi-Square wave (open-loop only)
The maximum output voltage level of the drive is normally limited to an
equivalent of the drive input voltage minus voltage drops within the drive
(the drive will also retain a few percent of the voltage in order to maintain
current control). If the motor rated voltage is set at the same level as the
supply voltage, some pulse deletion will occur as the drive output voltage
approaches the rated voltage level. If Pr 05.020 (Quasi-square wave
enable) is set to 1 the modulator will allow over modulation, so that as
the output frequency increases beyond the rated frequency the voltage
continues to increase above the rated voltage. The modulation depth will
increase beyond unity; first producing trapezoidal and then quasi-square
waveforms.
This can be used for example:
•To obtain high output frequencies with a low switching frequency
which would not be possible with space vector modulation limited to
unity modulation depth,
or
•In order to maintain a higher output voltage with a low supply
voltage.
The disadvantage is that the machine current will be distorted as the
modulation depth increases above unity, and will contain a significant
amount of low order odd harmonics of the fundamental output frequency.
The additional low order harmonics cause increased losses and heating
in the motor.

7.7 CT Modbus RTU specification
This section describes the adaptation of the MODBUS RTU protocol offered on Control Techniques' products. The portable software class which
implements this protocol is also defined.
MODBUS RTU is a master slave system with half-duplex message exchange. The Control Techniques (CT) implementation supports the core
function codes to read and write registers. A scheme to map between MODBUS registers and CT parameters is defined. The CT implementation also
defines a 32 bit extension to the standard 16 bit register data format.
7.7.1 MODBUS RTU
Physical layer
AttributeDescription
Normal physical layer for multi-drop operationEIA 485 2 wire
Bit streamStandard UART asynchronous symbols with Non Return to Zero (NRZ)
* The drive will accept a packet with 1 or 2 stop bits but will always transmit 2 stop bits
RTU framing
The frame has the following basic format
1 start bit
8 data bits (transmitted least significant bit first)
2 stop bits*
The frame is terminated with a minimum silent period of 3.5 character times (for example, at 19200 baud the minimum silent period is 2 ms). Nodes
use the terminating silence period to detect the end of frame and begin frame processing. All frames must therefore be transmitted as a continuous
stream without any gaps greater or equal to the silence period. If an erroneous gap is inserted then receiving nodes may start frame processing early
in which case the CRC will fail and the frame will be discarded.
MODBUS RTU is a master slave system. All master requests, except broadcast requests, will lead to a response from an individual slave. The slave
will respond (i.e. start transmitting the response) within the quoted maximum slave response time (this time is quoted in the data sheet for all Control
Techniques products). The minimum slave response time is also quoted but will never be less that the minimum silent period defined by 3.5 character
times.
If the master request was a broadcast request then the master may transmit a new request once the maximum slave response time has expired.
The master must implement a message time out to handle transmission errors. This time out period must be set to the maximum slave response time
+ transmission time for the response.
7.7.2 Slave address
The first byte of the frame is the slave node address. Valid slave node addresses are 1 through 247 decimal. In the master request this byte indicates
the target slave node; in the slave response this byte indicates the address of the slave sending the response.
Global addressing
Address zero addresses all slave nodes on the network. Slave nodes suppress the response messages for broadcast requests.

The MODBUS register address range is 16 bit (65536 registers) which at the protocol level is represented by indexes 0 through 65535.
PLC registers
Modicon PLCs typically define 4 register 'files' each containing 65536 registers. Traditionally, the registers are referenced 1 through 65536 rather than
0 through 65535. The register address is therefore decremented on the master device before passing to the protocol.
File typeDescription
1Read only bits ("coil")
2Read / write bits ("coil")
3Read only 16bit register
4Read / write 16bit register
The register file type code is NOT transmitted by MODBUS and all register files can be considered to map onto a single register address space.
However, specific function codes are defined in MODBUS to support access to the "coil" registers. All standard CT drive parameters are mapped to
register file '4' and the coil function codes are not required.
CT parameter mapping
The Modbus register address is 16 bits in size, of which the upper two bits are used for data type selection leaving 14 bits to represent the parameter
address, taking into account the slave increments the address value by 1, this results in a theoretical maximum parameter address of 163.84 (limited
to 162.99 in software) when the default standard addressing mode (see Serial Mode Pr 00.035 {11.024}) is used.
To access a parameter number above 99 in any drive menu then the modified addressing mode must be used (see Serial Mode Pr 00.035 {11.024}),
this will allow access to parameter numbers up to 255 but also limit the maximum menu number to 63.
The Modbus slave device increments the register address by 1 before processing the command, this effectively prevents access to parameter
Pr 00.000 in the drive or option module.
The table below shows how the start register address is calculated for both addressing modes.

Data types
The MODBUS protocol specification defines registers as 16 bit signed integers. All CT devices support this data size. Refer to the section
7.7.7 Extended data types on page 95 for detail on accessing 32 bit register data.
7.7.4 Data consistency
All CT devices support a minimum data consistency of one parameter (16 bit or 32 bit data). Some devices support consistency for a complete
multiple register transaction.
7.7.5 Data encoding
MODBUS RTU uses a 'big-endian' representation for addresses and data items (except the CRC, which is 'little-endian'). This means that when a
numerical quantity larger than a single byte is transmitted, the MOST significant byte is sent first. So for example
16 - bits0x1234would be0x120x34
32 - bits0x12345678would be 0x120x340x560x78
7.7.6 Function codes
The function code determines the context and format of the message data. Bit 7 of the function code is used in the slave response to indicate an
exception.
The following function codes are supported:

7.7.7 Extended data types
Standard MODBUS registers are 16bit and the standard mapping maps a single #X.Y parameter to a single MODBUS register. To support 32 bit data
types (integer and float) the MODBUS multiple read and write services are used to transfer a contiguous array of 16bit registers.

Information
Slave devices typically contain a mixed set of 16 bit and 32 bit registers. To permit the master to select the desired 16 bit or 32 bit access the top two
bits of the register address are used to indicate the selected data type.
The selection is applied for the whole block access.
The 2bit type field selects the data type according to the table below:
Typ e fiel d
bits 15-14
Selected data typeComments
00INT16 backward compatible
01INT32
10Float32
IEEE754 standard
Not supported on all slaves
11R ese rved
If a 32 bit data type is selected then the slave uses two consecutive 16 bit MODBUS registers (in 'big endian'). The master must also set the correct
'number of 16 bit registers'.
Example, read Pr 20.021 through Pr 20.024 as 32 bit parameters using FC03 from node 8:
Number of 16bit registers to read
Pr 20.021 through Pr 20.024 is 4x32 bit registers = 8x16 bit registers

Reads when actual parameter type is different from selected
The slave will send the least significant word of a 32 bit parameter if that parameter is read as part of a 16 bit access.
The slave will sign extend the least significant word if a 16 bit parameter is accessed as a 32 bit parameter. The number of 16 bit registers must be
even during a 32 bit access.
Example, If Pr 01.028 is a 32 bit parameter with a value of 0x12345678, Pr 01.029 is a signed 16 bit parameter with a value of 0xABCD, and
Pr 01.030 is a signed 16 bit parameter with a value of 0x0123.

Writes when actual parameter type is different from selected
The slave will allow writing a 32 bit value to a 16 bit parameter as long as the 32 bit value is within the normal range of the 16 bit parameter.
The slave will allow a 16 bit write to a 32 bit parameter. The slave will sign extend the written value, therefore the effective range of this type of write
will be -32768 to +32767.
Examples, if Pr 01.028 has a range of ±100000, and Pr 01.029 has a range of ±10000.

7.7.8 Exceptions
The slave will respond with an exception response if an error is detected in the master request. If a message is corrupted and the frame is not
received or the CRC fails then the slave will not issue an exception. In this case the master device will time out. If a write multiple (FC16 or FC23)
request exceeds the slave maximum buffer size then the slave will discard the message. No exception will be transmitted in this case and the master
will time out.

Parameter over range during block write FC16
The slave processes the write block in the order the data is received. If a write fails due to an out of range value then the write block is terminated.
However, the slave does not raise an exception response, rather the error condition is signalled to the master by the number of successful writes field
in the response.
Parameter over range during block read/write FC23
There will be no indication that there has been a value out of range during a FC23 access.

The CRC is a 16 bit cyclic redundancy check using the standard CRC-16 polynomial x16 + x15 + x2 + 1. The 16 bit CRC is appended to the message
and transmitted LSB first.
The CRC is calculated on ALL the bytes in the frame.

8.1 Introduction
The Non-Volatile Media Card feature enables simple configuration of
parameters, parameter back-up, storing / reading PLC programs and
drive copying using a SMARTCARD or SD card storing / reading PLC
programs. The drive offers backward compatibility for a Unidrive SP
SMARTCARD.
The NV Media Card can be used for:
•Parameter copying between drives
•Saving drive parameter sets
•Saving an onboard user program
The NV Media Card is located at the top of the module under the drive
display (if installed) on the left-hand side.
Ensure the NV Media Card is inserted with the contacts facing the lefthand side of the drive.
The drive only communicates with the NV Media Card when
commanded to read or write, meaning the card may be "hot swapped".
Beware of possible live terminals when installing the NV
Media Card.

Optimization
The Unidrive M is not able to read any other type of Unidrive SP data
block on the card. Although it is possible to transfer difference from
default data blocks from a Unidrive SP into the Unidrive M, the following
should be noted:
1. If a parameter from the source drive does not exist in the target drive
then no data is transferred for that parameter.
2. If the data for the parameter in the target drive is out of range then
the data is limited to the range of the target parameter.
3. If the target drive has a different rating to the source drive then the
normal rules for this type of transfer apply.

The NV Media Card can be used to store drive parameter sets and / or
PLC programs set from the Unidrive M in data blocks 001 to 499 on the
card.
The Unidrive M is compatible with a Unidrive SP SMARTCARD and is
able to read and translate the Unidrive SP parameter set into a
compatible parameter set for Unidrive M. This is only possible if the
Unidrive SP parameter set was transferred to the SMARTCARD using
the difference from defaults transfer method (i.e. 4yyy transfer).

The whole card may be protected from writing or erasing by setting the read-only flag as detailed in section 8.3.9 9888 / 9777 - Setting and clearing the NV Media Card read only flag on page 101.
The card should not be removed during data transfer, as the drive will produce a trip. If this occurs then either the transfer should be re-attempted or
in the case of a card to drive transfer, default parameters should be loaded.

When the data is transferred back to the drive, using 6yyy in Pr mm.000,
it is transferred to the drive RAM and the EEPROM. A parameter save is
not required to retain the data after-power down. Set up data for any
option modules installed stored on the card are transferred to the drive. If
the option modules installed are different between source and
destination drives, the menus for the option module slots where the
option module categories are different are not updated from the card and
will contain their default values after the copying action. The drive will
produce a 'Card Option' trip if the option module installed to the source
and the destination drives are different or are in different slots. If the data
is being transferred to the drive with different voltage or current rating a
'Card Rating' trip will occur.
